FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH


For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flow'r
Sun and moon and stars of light
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise

For the church that ever more
Lifteth holy hands above
Off'ring up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
